RE: Colo. drop camp advice?
I would avoid the 3rd season if at all possible. I went to Meeker in 1996 and we did a drop camp, we did see elk but they were very spooked by then and we came up empty. You have to remember that those elk are being hunted since the last week of August and by the 3rd firearms hunt they know the game. I would suggest the 1 st rifle if anything.
